“A good Interior design is making the best possible use of the available space.”
And who better at it than Firdaus? Hello Fitness Magazine came across founder at AAKAAR INTERIORS, Mr.Firdos Katpitia who helps people convert houses into beautiful homes!
Firdos has been, as we like to call it, ‘crafting interior beauty’ of an otherwise seemingly bare space for fifteen years. He received his Bachelor’s degree from NIFD in 2007. He never worked under any established architect and went all in with his own company named Concepts, which later popularised as Aakaar, literally meaning ‘to shape’.
The Beautifying Journey
As they say, The beginning is always the hardest. To manage everything as a beginner in this industry took courage and a lot of hard work. However he stood steady and eventually got the hang of things; now he is ruling the hearts of his clients.
“Being in the field 24/7, I got the chance to learn the minutest of details from the scratch which helped me solve any problem that came my way; quotes Firdos with pride!”
He has radically given his time to his career, spending the entire day on sites, and nights in planning and designing.
His company Aakaar celebrated the anniversary of its ten glorious years this May 4th, 2022.
HIS UNIQUE STYLE OF WORK
What Firdos perceives makes him successful is his patience with the clients.
“The reason behind people choose AAKAAR INTERIORS is our ability to cater to clients’ needs. We provide questionnaires to take care of every detail, big or small,” says Firdos!
To give a good idea about his design proposals, he resorts to 3-D images which helps his client’s imagination to view how their home/office would look like.
White color and aesthetic patterns play a strong role in his designs for offices and residential areas, for white helps to maintain a tranquil environment, and keeps you calm.
He also makes sure that all his designs conform to the basics of Vastu Shastra, since that becomes a very eminent factor for many when it comes to interior designing and architecture.
Sanity while handling insanity
Interior designing involves communication and work with varied people. Some clients can turn out difficult to work with.
‘From a utility point of view, if you satisfy a client, they won't bother you. But if you don’t give them the inner utility, they will pinpoint at every big and small thing.’
His mantra when stuck in such situations is ‘Keep smiling.’
“It does happen that some clients challenge your patienct, but I just take it as a pinch of salt and assure them that their requirements will be taken care of!”
Fitness in Interior Designing
“In the field of work I have chosen, there are times when we need to walk on raw surfaces or climb the buildings. And while working on projects that involve 14 to 19 floors, we can’t expect such places to have lifts or escalators during the initial days. Stairs are the only option in such cases. These times are when you realise how much physical strength you require to remain healthy.” The same reason helps him take good care of his health. He wakes up every morning to work out, be in the gym or practice yoga, or even do weightlifting. For mental peace he confides to yoga, and meditation to be specific.
“Meditation not only calms me down, but also helps me plan the course of my day, or formulate my goals”, says Firdos while he ends the conversation with Hello Fitness Magazine on a good note!
